rn, i'm trying to consistently to squeeze in the 2nd enkindle under devotion
#questions-and-help
magic light
throw words at me and see if my brain figures it out
...? sometimes, I have devotion getting out what I think is supposedly late as normal as I actually have more than 1 second for the 2nd enkindle.
then I try again and devotion actually goes out and I'm left out of it

is there like a PF dictionary :(

Nope!

Watching a guide might give you an inside to understand what they are saying

so what are openers ???? I know I ask this questions some months ago but forgot what it was about, also thous openers look like an whole rotation for the job
static yacht
@cobalt pagoda openers are the most optimal way to do damage for a job
they're related to a proper "rotation"
aka the most optimal way to do damage ona job
static yacht
generally
having both down
will make you deal a lot more damage than someone just mashing random buttons
open coral
You’ll be fine in any non-high-end content just knowing the basic rotation
But you should try to learn your opener
static yacht
^ but it'll be BM if you try to take it into something that has a DPS check like extreme / savage
cobalt pagoda
oh good, I don't wanna let people down that much :3
open coral
If you can perform the bare minimum rotation for any given level, you won’t disappoint anyone in DF
faint flare
Openers basically set up your rotation cause your rotation is pretty much just press shit in cooldown
With the opener setting up when things start rolling
cobalt pagoda
now that makes more sense
open coral
Yeah, for tanks/dps, the opener gets most of your buffs and dots rolling
Then the rest of your rotation is just maintenance
faint flare
All openers use potions
wintry vector
So, spriggan is currently closed, and one of our friends wants to join us... He can't make a character there anymore right?
zinc orbitBOT
open coral
But only for about 30s
faint flare
Wait until late at night @wintry vector
proven bay
@wintry vector You need to create a new character on off hours. Preferred servers tend to be full outside of 2-8am
faint flare
It changes based on how many people are online
wintry vector
ah I see
cobalt pagoda
ok, but what do I do at lvl 60 ? cuz I think thous openers are for lvl 80 no?
faint flare
For monk, your GCD rotation doesn't change
Really
So you can pretty much look at 80 and remove skills you dont have
cobalt pagoda
oh I see that on;y riddel of fire is missing at lvl 60 >.<
open coral
Same for most classes, really
cobalt pagoda
that's if I chose the PB opener as it looks like in the MNK resources
faint flare
Only real big thing missing is Riddle of Wind for GL4 but that just allows you to do Double true strikes before refreshing twin
cobalt pagoda
ok
granite swan
@faint flare Do you happen to know if were suppose to get 1 or 2 Stellaclusters a day?
faint flare
From wut

Daily Roulette
faint flare
You can farm that infinitely since its a adventure in need reward
granite swan
Ooh, i thought it was part of the roulette :p
halcyon glen
Personally I, as a true healer, gave my Anima exclusively Piety
If for some reason you’re actually using it (ex. Being a free trial user), consider favoring crit
magic light
taking a break, it seems like I get to follow the rotation if devotion doesn't pop early, following this, it felt like rng whether I made it so devotion doesn't pop early and does so during DWT
what happens if I do enkindle first instead of slotting it under the 2nd ogcd?
faint flare
It will be delayed
And risk ghosting
Because of flooding the pet que
Its why lucid is there
To reduce the risk of ghosting the enkindle

Hello wanted to ask about the game , I haven't purchased it but me and my bf are thinking about it.
What's a hassle is that we heard that content (the game) itself is locked behind "Subbing" and without subbing we can't really play the game at all.
So wanted to know directly if we purchase the game and dlcs are we locked outta said DLCs we paid for because we didn't purchase sub?
zinc orbitBOT
halcyon glen
When you purchase the base game you get 30 days of play included
faint flare
If you sub expires you'll be unable to log in
cobalt pagoda
@leaden ginkgo what is THAT
halcyon glen
Beyond that you’ll need to subscribe in order to continue playing past the first month
leaden ginkgo
@cobalt pagoda anima weapon quest
cobalt pagoda
0.0 ohh
leaden ginkgo
@halcyon glen Ya im subscribed ^^
halcyon glen
Yeah so just pick whatever cause it’s all glam anywayyyy
serene bison
That's a bummer.
halcyon glen
Until you purchase the game, consider picking up the Free Trial
north rain
I'm trying to complete as many quests as I work through my first playthrough, but I'm finding I'm gaining levels too fast, is there a way to turn that off?
serene bison
I wanna purchase the game but with money tight
faint flare
Pick up other jobs
serene bison
doubt we can manage subbing every month
faint flare
You dont have to sub every month
north rain
I've just started out, so I'm only level 15
faint flare
Just when you wanna play
halcyon glen
And sub isn’t like another $60 or anything, it’s ~$15 (mentioning this cause it’s not the first time I’ve seen this misunderstood). If ya can’t pull that together for a month, just drop it. Your character will be waiting when you get back 🙂
north rain
How do you drop combat, it seems to stay stuck when attacking a training dummy
halcyon glen
Normally you run like hell. Training dummies you can reset like that.
granite swan
@north rain If you chose a preferred server, your always gonna be way overleveled
north rain
What are those dots in the top right of gear, there was a help text that says it might job/quest limited but there is more than one color
shrewd prawn
Wait yokai isn’t ending today is it
faint flare
No
granite swan
@north rain dot in top right of a piece of gear means it can be dyed
serene bison
Ok thank you for info , also for like classes do people like have a guide of recommended classes or a spreadsheet
Idc for biased
just tell me your thoughts~
open coral
All classes are balanced
Just pick something that looks interesting to you to start. You can always switch later if you don’t like it

How about fashion

leaden ginkgo
most of the NA servers are pretty easy to get into except for Aether from my experience

oh ok so it can change during the day
leaden ginkgo
took almost 3 days to get into Sargatanas
faint flare
Best time is late at night
north rain
It suggester I create one on Aether, did I make a mistake?
void willow
instead of spamming 1 is there some how i can just hold it down and itll repeat the same ability?
faint flare
No
leaden ginkgo
i don't rly think that's optimal cuz of how many skills you need to use
unless its like WHM stone/holy spam but even then you'll have to heal every now and then
cursive peak
Thanks for the help @faint flare !
void willow
yea but in the beginning its a slight inconvenience
serene bison
is leveling slow?
open coral
There are no wrong servers unless you’re specifically trying to make a character on the same server as your friends @north rain
cursive peak
really hope I'll have time for that amazing game again
faint flare
Eh not particularly
wispy parcel
leveling itself its pretty quick compared to other MMO's

i wish i leveled slower lol, pref world bonus is too good
open coral
Leveling is pretty steady
wispy parcel
but you are locked off by MSQ
twilit abyss
What's the best way to level aetherpool gear solo?
north rain
IMO questing is too fast so far, but the character skill complexity curve, makes the combat a little slow
open coral
You will almost never hit a point where you need to grind levels
wispy parcel
The game starts slow yes, espeically cause of the 2.5 gcd
twilit abyss
You will almost never hit a point where you need to grind levels
@open coral on a preffered realm you might hit 60 before even finishing the base game
serene bison
Ok last question for now
wispy parcel
later you do get oGCD abilities that are meant to be weaved in while other skills are on cooldown
serene bison
how is gearing in the game
faint flare
Easy
leaden ginkgo
GCD skills can be lowered with spell speed and skill speed materia right?
open coral
Easy
faint flare
Yes
twilit abyss
Your first level 50 might have trouble with gear.
leaden ginkgo
that's pretty awesome
serene bison
like there's no real difference besides personal taste in gear easy or you can get in a dungeon grind it and boom good gear?
faint flare
Game gives you alot of gear and endgame stuff is easy to catch uo with and the highest gear is behind some time locks
open coral
You are guaranteed to get at least one piece of gear from every dungeon you run
twilit abyss
The rest will breeze through it.
faint flare
Dungeon gear is equal to High quality gear that crafters make
serene bison
oh crafting gear
wispy parcel
Ironworks is good until you reach HW
serene bison
sounds fun
open coral
Dungeon gear is typically good enough for leveling between expansion caps
serene bison
unless it's like ESO where you gotta spend 2 hours
faint flare
No
serene bison
searching a map to get stuff
faint flare
You have gathering logs to tell you where stuff is
serene bison
sorry if I ask alot of questions
open coral
Then poetics gear is the ideal for 50/60/70
north rain
Whats the deal with those levelquest things
leaden ginkgo
are there any whm guides out here, i'm tryna get better at healing
zinc orbitBOT
twilit abyss
If you only do roulettes sparingly (once a day) it might take you 3-5 days to get a full suite of poetics armor.

Hello everyone. I played ff14 a few years ago (had a WHM and another "pet-based" healer, forgot). I would like to restart. I've been told that the story is GREAT but I've forgotten all of it. Also, I was told SE is going to "streamline" the story for new players.
So whats the best way to get (re)started?
cedar compass
Is there a fast way to return from the sahagin daily quests on the OoB ships?
faint flare
Those are just old school reference letters to identify what mob is which
open coral
You have two options
First, you can simply start over with a new character
Second, you can use the New Game+ function to re-experience older parts of the game without truly restarting

Problem with the second option

Although ARR has yet to be added to that

@open coral ARR is ff14 2.0? But thats approx 9 years old right?
woeful nacelle
Are phantasmagoria tomes expected to be needed for this?
woeful nacelle
gotcha
open coral
@sleek igloo yes, ARR is 2.0, but that’s only about... 7 years.
sleek igloo
Yes, thats what I played @open coral
I am 100% sure.
However if I follow your advice and start a new character, can I "skip" the mundance quests? can I get a lvling booster? etc
north rain
revenj, I just started and if anything its too fast
faint flare
But not advised if new/returning
leaden ginkgo
I just finished 2.0 and now I am getting bombarded by blue exclamation mark quests. Anything specific that I should focus on?
faint flare
Otherwise why are you making a new character and why not just use the old one
sleek igloo
@faint flare , good question... because I want to get up to speed on the story. I have no idea where I left
faint flare
Then dont skip
leaden ginkgo
how does finding a group for a run work in this game? seems every time i queue for anything, it takes near half an hour even if the avg wait time says 6mins
@quiet hollow if you queue up as a DPS character you're bound to have very long queues
faint flare
Or just use the old character and read Summaries
leaden ginkgo
in this game you can change your class simply by changing your weapon
dry tree
For dancer, does standard step and technical step buffs stack?
faint flare
Yes

dope, thank you
open coral
@sleek igloo I made a new character specifically to see what the revised MSQ felt like. It took me about 23 hours to play through just 2.0 skipping all cutscenes, and a further 18 to get through 2.1-2.55

Wha tis MSQ?
open coral
Main Scenario Quests

@quiet hollow tanks and healers have shorter queues then dps

When you say "play thru 2.0", what level did you end up at ?

whats the best way to get exp? just doing quests?
open coral
I was level 51 at the end of 2.0, and 54 by the time I headed into Heavensward
remote lintel
msq
leaden ginkgo
@quiet hollow yeah you'll have to level up to 20 again, but assuming you're in a preferred world that will only take u an hour or two.
open coral
Although the tutorials are worth doing for the role gear
remote lintel
1 - 20 is not a grind
leaden ginkgo
well actually you can start dungeons at lvl 16, and your first dungeon should level you 4-5 times if you have pref world
zinc orbitBOT
north rain
@leaden ginkgo lol an hour or two, its taking me much longer than that but I like to read everything
leaden ginkgo
yeah just do your class quests, guildhests, levequests, and hunting log with a friend
remote lintel
levequests aren't good for combat exp
leaden ginkgo
i did too actually, it still didnt take too long
north rain
yea, I don't have any friends. soo
leaden ginkgo
yeah dont do leves unless you're fed up with running around for hunting logs lol
simple shore
unborn bay
Is it me or does healer queue faster?
remote lintel
hunt logs, challenge log, fates, highest lvl dungeon
faint flare
It is faster
unborn bay
I get instant queues on Astro and longer queues on tank
leaden ginkgo
oh yeah, u dont need friends but it helps a lot. They can fly you around and 1 shot everything
unborn bay
I was surprised
unborn bay
Why is it you think there's more tanks in this game compared to other games
faint flare
Because tanking is the easiest role
leaden ginkgo
i think dps is easier
remote lintel
tanking is DPS but with simpler combos
faint flare
Dps has long, complex rotations whole Tanking is just simple rotation and use cooldowns
faint flare
And dps have much more mechanics to deal with
leaden ginkgo
that's if you're going for the optimal rotation, which almost no one does
faint flare
As mechanics love targetting dps
remote lintel
you should
north rain
So whats the hardest then?
remote lintel
dps
faint flare
Healer or dps depending
calm phoenix
Why did the game take away my ability to fly after doing the "labyrinth of the Ancients"? All Bennu will do now is jump and she WILL NOT fly. There is now a structure blocking the way out of the area as it returned me to the enterence on the world map
open coral
As a healer, I find healing easiest, but objectively healing is the hardest imo
leaden ginkgo
yeah healing is way harder because it requires situational awareness and ability to react
if you can't adapt you die
remote lintel
depends
leaden ginkgo
dps rotation is simply muscle memory
remote lintel
¯_(ツ)_/¯
calm phoenix
I am NOT in the temple of the ancients. That is done, I am trying to leave the area on the world map that the temple is located

I'm just double checking, but you can have as many DoH/L classes as you want now right?
willow ore
That's what I thought, thanks.
obsidian patio
There was never a restriction on how many crafters/gatherers you could level
willow ore
I asked cause I saw a thing from 5 years ago mention something about specialties and there seeming to be some kind of limit.
But there's no mention of that recently.
faint flare
Those exist but thats a seperate thing
Specialist is just a small stat boosy and allows you to craft specialist receipes
And you can swap 3 times a week
And have 3 specialists
willow ore
I see, that's also good to know.
little swift
specialist recipes eventually become regular master recipes anyways
sleek igloo
Does ff14 have any currently running free-trial periods? or discounted purchases?
mossy current
Occasionally there is a free time campaign for players who have previously had a subscription
Not currently however, but a free trial does exist and is quite extensive

grave totem
Does anyone know how to avoid gettimg double knockedback from hades ex trial universal manipulation? I have all the mechanics perfected except for that donut aoe thing. Im standing only on one aoe behind my healer but i keep dying on the 2nd knockback.
What i do is, i wait for donut aoe to hit me, then look away after that but the 2nd knockback keeps making me fall out of arena.
Do i have to look back before the donut aoe hits me (to remove doom) or after it hits me?
faint flare
If you're being knockback twice it means you're being hit by something
You need to keep looking out away from the shrieks
grave totem
so do i look away before the donut aoe triggers? maybe thats what im doin wrong, because what i do is wait for knockback before looking away
faint flare
I do for safety
grave totem
aight tnx ill try that on my next run 🙂 feels bad im the only who kept on dying and my group accepted my death on that part as part of its mechanics lol that they have to ress me

Hello all c:, I'm pretty new to the game (my first MMO), I play with one friend but he wont play after free trial is over, what's the best way to find people willing to do old dungeons and raids? Stuff like Coils of Bahamut, Alexander, that kind of thing. I usually just queue but, stuff like Coils takes usually more than an hour. I'm learning Bard.
faint flare
Dont que for coils. Itd basically savage tier level which is the second highest difficulty
And very unlikely you'll clear in Duty finder
Use party finder
And usually advertise unsync so high levels can face roll it
Normal mode raids like Alexander are fine for duty finder
wispy parcel
Yea no one would be willing to do Coils level synched
jade lava
what classes are really active (but not too difficult to learn)

bahamut is basically the only 8 man raid thats savage level despite not having the title

it's not extremely important to hang onto it but it is one useful thing that you can do with old gear besides throwing it out

storywise, sure, no point

you can't get ironworks until you beat ARR
proud willow
(need Poetics for Ironworks, so...)
granite swan
unless you haz feathers ;p
wild swan
Well thank you for answering my question everyone
glossy flare
I feel you, I also really wanted to get DRK back then, and honestly the post-ARR storyline is probably the weakest point of the game for the most part imho
But it's worth to stick with it
gets way better down the line

just don't burn yourself out by rushing things too much
oh yeah needed definitely
can't have a good game without some lows

I have a lvl 26 maruader and should I just play that class because cant you level all jobs?
faint flare
There's even archivements for doing so
void willow
I feel like itd be a smart idea just to stick to my marauder and just level on him
pliant wind
Do you get anything?
wispy parcel
You get a mount
obsidian patio
The highest iteration gives a mount
faint flare
And titles
warped nest
If you like marauder, stick with it
If you saw someone else play... Dragoon, and you are eager to try, go and level one
The game doesn't punish you for swapping. Even without Road to 70 exp, it is not hard to juggle 2-3 jobs together and keep their level caught up with your story
if anything, playing different roles have a very very tiny advantage, it gives you more options when you are trying to queue for duty or look for party

IMO the biggest advantage to trying out different roles is that it can make you a better player, overall because you get an idea of what entire fights look like rather than just one aspect.
If you're a tank who knows what it's like to be a healer or a dps, you'll have a better idea of what those roles need from you and what they can do. Same for healers who have tried dps and tanks, etc.
warped nest
in reality you will be cursed with knowledge because now you know that your DPS party member aren't doing their AOE correctly

When you reach a new location, the first thing you should do is interact with and attune to the big aetheryte in the city or the town

First Question: Okay reached end-game, and wanted to know what i can grind to get gil? For example drops from dungeons, and trials. What's the best route to to take. I know crafting/gathering is the best way, but was wondering of other ways to get gil.
Second Question First time seeing this while browsing around, and was wondering what's a good summary or guide video of The Forbidden Land, and why I should do them?https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/The_Forbidden_Land,_Eureka_Pagos

See if you can see the region and find a aetheryte to teleport to

yea I dont lol
I was oh itll be fun to play ffxiv and not play gw2 for a little and i regret my decision
scarlet sandal
i float aound 18-20 mil gil with maps
wispy parcel
@silk burrow best way to get gil is to level crafters and gatherers and sell shit on the MB
warped nest
@silk burrow q1: treasure map
Q2: eureka is for grinding Stormblood relic, which is now good for glamour
wispy parcel
and maps
obsidian patio
Yeah treasure maps are volatile in profit but probably one of the best methods for combat classes
misty blaze
new to the game: so after level 60 you start getting all your skills automatically when you reach a level instead of getting some from class quests. Sooo what are class quests for then except for the extra story in them?
scarlet sandal
eureka armorlooks soooo cool but no bun cant wear the head piece
wispy parcel
@misty blaze your level 70 ability is still locked behind job quests
glossy flare
you also get some nice looking gear for your lvl 70 quest
misty blaze
ah I see. thought so! 😄 that you would need them all in teh end for like 1 ability at the end of the respective expansion
faint flare
And you need to do your class quests to get access to role quests in Shadowbringers
Which you need to do to finish the story
glossy flare
and from that point on you mostly have role quest, which you have to complete for at least one role to advance the story quests
faint flare
So they're still very much mandatory
misty blaze
oh I see @faint flare thanks!
faint flare
And they give you entry level gear at the level caps
misty blaze
yeah, I was always going to do them. I just wasn't sure what the meaning/reward behind them is now...but now I get it
glossy flare
there still is one lvl 80 job quest for each job but that really is only for the sake of completion, achievements or story closure
whatever strikes your fancy
wispy parcel
the Dark Knight one is literally called "Our Closure"
glossy flare
it isn't even a 
I think
wispy parcel
no its a regular side quest
faint flare
Its yellow
glossy flare
makes one wonder how they intend to go forward with this, probably role quests only now
well, wrong place to talk about that anyway
faint flare
We'll see
scarlet sandal
I can see them just having no quests at all and you just learned skills
I kind of miss having queats teaching you can you new skills though
glossy flare
imho, job quests are important to develop job identity
scarlet sandal

does anyone have a tip on where to spend gil meanwile for the 300k gil limit for free users? im 10k gil away and dont know what to use it for or what to possibly craft to sell in the future on the market board?
potent lava
So I need some help, or rather my friend needs some
so hes trying to download ffxiv to his ps4, but he for some reason cant download free trial, so instead he's downloading shadowbringers from the PS store? is this fine
glossy flare
not much you can spend it on as a trial user tbh
remote lintel
what do you mean he's downloading shadowbringers
you can't get shadowbringers without a base game
warped nest
@potent lava does it say Shadowbringers, or just the icon
wispy parcel
if its just the icon theres no issue
tender merlin
i heard i can craft glam prisms to possibly sell on the market board, but do people even buy that or they just buy it through seals?
wispy parcel
People do buy them yea
scarlet sandal
people buy them
warped nest
You are free trial player
scarlet sandal
i get em thro seals and they sell
wispy parcel
You cant use the MB
warped nest
So I dunno see how the answer helps you
scarlet sandal
It makes for a nice pocket change
warped nest
In spending your 300k
potent lava
hang on asking him to take a snap
remote lintel
@scarlet sandal there are better options to buy with seals and spend
cordials and anima mats will sell for more
scarlet sandal
hm i see
tender merlin
im planning on using my gil to craft prisms and possibly sell them on the market in the future
any way to use up the gil for now
scarlet sandal
they go for like 20 to 30k per 99
tender merlin
oh noes D:
wispy parcel
cause people just buy them from their GC and resell them
so the value went down hard
warped nest
My advice for the 300k Gil limit would just be
A buy gear for other jobs
B let the Gil disappear into the void, it is fake digital money
am i part of the problem
@scarlet sandal no
Because you are not the only player with a brain
scarlet sandal
my sub 5 iq
warped nest
I made 500k with GC seal, here's how video don't exist in YouTube
Because people usually figure these things out fast
potent lava
heres the pic

Yea thats right
warped nest
You need to understand that people don't have 1 identity in game. People who buy from MB... Can also sell on MB

"oh, why does this cost so much"
Check history

ty guys
remote lintel
if you want to know the story then just make a new character
warped nest
Flip multiple coins
novel cargo
yea that is my worry about the story skip
warped nest
Making a new character on a Preferred World should massively speed up your leveling
remote lintel
you can't just hop in at any point in the story and know whats going on
warped nest
Plus the MSQ is cleaned up a bit now
wispy parcel
This isnt like other MMO's
remote lintel
its like skipping chapters in a cook
wispy parcel
every expansion is a direct continuation of the last
warped nest
If you play often, it is very easy to make a lot of progress
wispy parcel
so you will be completely lost story wise
faint flare
Also your level means nothing without story progress
tender merlin
a lot of the videos i've watched for beginners or people who have come back all said that story skip isnt advisable a lot of people who did skip stories felt confused during the other expansions story as they didnt know who was what
faint flare
Story locks your ability to do content
remote lintel
you can easily get to lvl 34 on a new character
i say just make a new one if you want to know the story
tender merlin
i just finished ARR msq last night, although the quest was a bit fetchy, the ending the story was amazing
tender merlin
^
scarlet sandal
But also keep in mind everything in this game is locked behind the story
tender merlin
but honestly if you're worried about leveling, i leveled my conjurer to 1~35 in 1 and 1/2 hour and that was me playing while alt tabing to do homework
thats me playing on a server with the bonus exp btw
remote lintel
1 - 34 is short
novel cargo
XDDD wow thats fast
remote lintel
even without the exp boost
novel cargo
somehow I remember that took me a long ass time before
scarlet sandal
its much faster with 5.3
novel cargo
ok i was worried about the grind if starting a new character, but if thats not the case, guess thats a good choice for me
tender merlin
also the recent patch cleaned the 1~50 MSQ, so i dont think its as tedius as before
faint flare
Your level means fuck all if your story isn't done
wispy parcel
You will always be overleveled for the story until around stormblood
tender merlin
but honestly you just cant skip the story for a realm reborn, the ending got me so shookt when te final roar happened
scarlet sandal
arr is mostly world-building the game which the story does suffer little for it but that World building is very necessary because every thing else Builds on that and it gets really good
tender merlin
yes and i heard HW is even better

which is why after i completed ARR last night, i took a break and leveled other classes, im still quite hyped with ARR

and better paced

so when tank swapping in furor for the TB, are the tanks supposed to completely tank swap?
like, main tank turns off stance + shirk, and offtank provokes + turn on stance?

Usually they do
Also stance doesn't need to be toggled
Shirk creates enough of a lead
Both tanks keep their stance on

We are all missing something. well all keep wiping on the first boss of "World of Darkness" People in the chat keep saying to go to the glow as soon as the boss casts doom but this "glow" is not appearing for anybody and we all instantly die because a mechanic is not activating. We must be doing something to make it not activate. After trying like 10 times, everybody voted to abandon and despite the fact that I said "no" it counted as an abandonment and now I cannot queue up for it for 30 minutes
shy gull
you can look away from the boss during the 'glare' attack to skip doom entirely
faint flare
First if you're getting doom you're failing the mechanic
unborn bay
For an Astrologian when do you recommend using Swiftcast, Lightspeed and Surecast?
faint flare
Second, if you do get doom, there's 4 platforms that glow one at a time and they rotate, you go to those to cleanse it

In Limsa, when I used "Glamour Plate" it said that I needed to save a gear set first but now I did so, the glamour window now appears but I see no option to apply the gearset glam that I saved
